Voice of the nation

This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially acceptable.

Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!

Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
 
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Stone Cold Heart

When I came up with my stage name for SoundCloud,
I imagined an old organ grinder with his monkey and money cup,
cranking away on a street corner of an old cobblestone village.
But these days, the street corner was even older, as was the man himself,
along with his old synthesizer. The monkey is long gone, in case you were wondering.

Actually, I was quite surprised when the image that appeared got my glasses and my beard right, and even my blue shirt along with a pocket (where I keep my pocket protecter full of pens and pencils). Heck, it could almost have been my photo.

ANARS ! Je veux vivre

Sailing Away

Daddy worked the mines till his body gave out,
Coal dust clouded his mind with doubt,
He told me, "One day, son, you’ll rise out these hills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."

This world’s got a way of tearing folks down,
Keep faith in god, and you'll always stand solid and sound.
Keep walking the line, don’t cheat and don’t steal—
Head up and work, and don’t dull your senses feel what you feel.

I've tried I swear, but it’s been a rough cross to bear,
There’s a weight in this life making it hard to care, 
I hear your voice in my head and it gives me strength through the chills—
Stay away from the dope, whiskey and pills."


Your name is as good as your word you keep, 
Mending burnt bridges take time and hard work you can't cheat
Wounds will heal, sometimes in takes silence and  years—
Walk the line and work hard, and don’t give in to fears.

I stumbled, I’ve slipped, I can still hear your voice,
In a world full of  temptation, Ill make my choice.
I hold your lessons through struggle and still—
Steady staying away from the dope, whiskey and pills."
